<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It all started out as a joke 2
Gulf Wars Ago when I was a wee Apprentice, (I’m sorry, I meant a humble All
Day Slave, or ADS). But, since we, the Honorable (?) Chirurgeons of Ansteorra,
have been always ready since Round Table in January, and our most esteemed and
highly respected leader ( I mean Arkell, not Gerita people) and seen fit (or
was having a fit) to appoint me the task of furthering instilling great fear
into the enemies of our Greatest of Kingdoms, which is Ansteorra. Do hereby
send forth this missive unto all that I might be able to see if we can
accomplish such a feat that no one can surpass.</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">And exactly what am I talking
about? I am glad you have asked. I was tasked with the formation (and
appointed the Captain. Somebody please check Arell’s mental status please) the
AACC for next Gulf War in 2005. The AACC (Ansteorran Attack Chirurgeon
Company) would be the terror of the battlefield across the Knowne World. I am
currently in the beginning process and would like to know how many people
(even if you are not planning or do not even know if you will be attending
Gulf War next year) are interested in fighting as a unit in both the Heavy and
Rapier battles. </SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I believe that this would be an
impressive sight, as the Army of Ansteorra marches off to do battle against
the Evil Trimarians, that the AACC follow behind them and present ourselves
unto His Majesty and his general as a new war company for the Kingdom. After
if any soldier can kill our enemies, just how much more effective could we be,
as our knowledge of where to strike where it can kill is that much higher.
